Reporting Loss of IC

Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents who have lost their Identity Card (IC) are required to report the loss and apply for a replacement in person within 14 days. A police report is required only if you are a victim of crime. Otherwise, you may execute a Statutory Declaration when you come to ICA to report the loss.

If the registrant subsequently finds the lost IC after receiving a replacement, he/she must return the found IC to ICA.
